It seems that sometimes it is still possible to keep a secret logo and uniform world.

Last night, the Golden State Warriors did exactly that: they paraded in court for their last regular season game in Oakland, while wearing the white uniform of their 2000s homecoming. The announcement of the retro set was successfully recorded until the Warriors players arrived on the field and withdrew their warm-up attire, revealing the clothes to the delighted crowd.

The Warriors said the ode … was an idea inspired by the players and that was to suit the NBA and the outfitter of the league, Nike. Players began discussing this idea about two months ago, and the NBA, which often requires years of notice for teams to wear new uniforms, helped the Warriors find a quick fix to the usual paperwork.

"There was obviously a lot of talk about the fact that this is the last year at Oracle and how emblematic these jerseys are. We just tried to get there at all costs, "said Stephen Curry. "I'm glad we did it and we made a little surprise"
